Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have to admit that when I read the prompt words for this week’s Haiku Friday, Love and Last, I was in a weird sort of mood. Once in a while, I get in a goofy, laugh at everything, I want to play and joke around mood, and that’s the kind of mood I was in when I wrote this week’s haiku. I was also starving after hours of writing and I wanted to celebrate because the writing went well. So I celebrated with––you guessed it––food.

Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Hmmm. It seems to me like someone’s been bitten by the love bug. 😉
I love indian food but I don’t get it often. Perhaps because we have so few Indian restaurants where I live. When we do get it, we never have any leftovers. 😦 I do the same with our ‘Thanksgiving’ dinner leftovers. 😛

Bubble and Squeak is made form all the left over potatoes and vegetables from a roast dinner. You mix them all together and then mash them up with a potato masher, before frying it gently until it is hot and slightly crispy on the outside. I enjoy eating my Bubble and Squeak with lots of HP Brown sauce.

Yes, yes, yes!!! I love leftover soups, lasagna, casseroles…the flavour is enhanced by the flavours mingling that much longer. Sadly, they are rare in our house of seven 🙂
Your Haikus are excellent! That Kate Hudson, frickin funny!

I love how the photos complement the haikus so well!! And the haikus – one made me laugha and the other made me cry. The second one reminded me of my maternal grandmother who passed away last year – she would be the brightest star for us 🙂

Leftovers initially are part of a very different recipe. When many such leftovers combine to form a new tasting meal, it brings forth goodness of all these put together, both in taste as well as nutrition.
I sometimes use leftovers to make a quick quiche`, pies, baked layered rice and Indian stuffed bread called parantha or stuffed chappati.

You’re such a thinker, Alka. I like that. I believe you’re absolutely right. I’ve done similar things with my leftovers. I’ve made ‘croquetas’ and ’empanadas’ with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving Day. 🙂
